    Sir Mo Farah says the Great North Run in September will be his ‘goodbye’

    Sir Mo Farah will finish his athletics career with the Great North Run in September.

    Four-time Olympic champion Farah revealed the news after finishing ninth in his final London Marathon on Sunday.

    The 40-year-old plans to compete in the Great Manchester 10K in May before bowing out on September 10 at half-marathon distance.

    Speaking to the BBC, Farah said:The Great North Run is going to be my last-ever run and that will be my goodbye.

    “Part of me was wanting to cry [after the London Marathon]. I will miss that feeling, I am emotional today. I want to pass that on.”

    Farah won the 10,000 metres and 5,000 metres at the London 2012 and Rio 2016 Olympics

    Farah won gold in the 10,000 metres and 5,000 metres at London 2012 before repeating the feat at the 2016 Oympics in Rio de Janeiro.

    He added: “My career has been amazing, my wife and kids have been with me throughout this journey. I want to give time to them now, as well as getting involved in grassroots sport and giving back to this sport.”

    On his London Marathon run of two hours, 10 minutes and 28 seconds – which was over five minutes off his personal best – Farah said: “Training went well and I was confident.

    “I thought I could do between 2:05 and 2:07 but you never know with the marathon. I gave it my all but my body just wasn’t responding and that’s when you know when it’s time to call it a day.

    “London has been so great to me over the years and I wanted to be here to say thank you to the crowd and the support was just amazing.

    “I started here at the mini marathon and to finish here is just incredible. If somebody had said to that kid running the mini marathon that I’ll be Olympic champion, he would never have believed it.

    “The sport needs this, we need to give back to the young athletes and teach them what is possible with hard work.”

    World Snooker Championship: Play suspended as protesters interrupt match and throw orange substance on table

    Play suspended at the Crucible after a protester jumped on the table mid-match and threw an orange substance everywhere; the group Just Stop Oil immediately claimed responsibility for the protest on their social media account

    A protester jumps on the table during the match between Robert Milkins and Joe Perry

    The World Snooker Championship match between Joe Perry and Robert Milkins was delayed when a protester jumped on the table.

    The man, wearing a t-shirt with ‘Just Stop Oil’ written on it, came out of the audience and jumped on the table during the middle of the first-round match, throwing an orange substance on it.

    He was then swiftly apprehended by security and removed from the table.

    A female protester was stopped from disrupting the match between Mark Allen and Fan Zhengyi on table two by referee Olivier Marteel.

    A 30-year-old man and a 52-year-old woman have been arrested on suspicion of criminal damage, and both are in police custody.

    The protest group Just Stop Oil immediately claimed responsibility for the incident with a post on their Twitter account.

    Beginning with the headline “NEW OIL AND GAS WILL SNOOKER US”, the statement went on to say: “At around 7:20pm, two Just Stop Oil supporters have disrupted the World Snooker Championship at the Crucible Theatre in Sheffield, interrupting play.

    “They are demanding that the Government immediately stop all new UK fossil fuel projects and are calling on UK sporting institutions to step into in civil resistance [sic] against the Government’s genocidal policies.”

    Play was immediately suspended as cleaners brought vacuum cleaners into the arena and master of ceremonies Rob Walker was among those helping to sweep up the mess.

    The match between Allen and Fan on table two was then able to resume after a delay of around 45 minutes, however table one was taken out of action for the rest of the evening and is due to be re-clothed overnight as a result of being covered in the powder.

    The match between Perry and Milkins, which was in the first frame when the interruption occurred, will instead recommence at 7pm on Tuesday followed by the second session getting under way at 9.30am on Thursday.

    Former world champion Stephen Hendry, on commentary duties for the BBC, said: “I have never seen that before at a snooker event. It’s a first.

    “It is scary – wow! You just hope the cloth can be recovered from that. It caught us all by surprise and then this happens.

    “For me, straight away as a snooker player I am thinking: ‘Is the table recoverable?’ We don’t know what that is on the table.”

    Adam Peaty: British Swimming say ‘no timeline’ for return after World Aquatics Championships squad omission

    Three-time Olympic champion Adam Peaty withdrew from the recent British Championships, saying he was “not enjoying the sport”; the 28-year-old will now extend his break in order to focus on his mental health

    Last Updated: 12/04/23 11:42pm

    Adam Peaty withdrew from April’s British Swimming Championships

    British Swimming will set no timescale for Adam Peaty’s return to competition after the three-time Olympic gold medallist was left out of the squad for the World Aquatics Championships in July.

    Peaty, 28, withdrew from the recent British Championships, saying he was “not enjoying the sport”, and will extend his break in order to focus on his mental health.

    British Swimming said in a statement it will look to provide Peaty with all the support he needs during his time away from the sport.

    The statement, issued to the BBC, read: “There are no specific timelines with Adam at this stage.

    “The focus is very much on ensuring he is fully supported, and working with him on when he is ready to make a full return to his normal competition schedule.”

    Peaty is a three-time Olympic champion

    Peaty has previously said he hoped his decision to step away would help him prepare for next year’s Paris Olympics and the defence of his 100 metres breaststroke and 4x100m mixed medley titles.

    In total six Olympic champions – Freya Anderson, Tom Dean, Anna Hopkin, James Guy, Matt Richards and Duncan Scott – will compete in Fukuoka, Japan this summer, with James Wilby also out to add to his previous world championship medal.

    Freya Colbert, Dan Jervis and Laura Stephens all made qualification times in their respective events in Sheffield.

    There will be 10 swimmers set to make their world championship debut in Japan, including Katie Shanahan, who won 200m backstroke and 200m individual medley titles at Ponds Forge.

    British Swimming performance director Chris Spice said: “We were really pleased with the standard of our athletes’ performances at the British Championships, with established names and new faces delivering big swims and helping play their part in some outstanding races.

    “As with every year, our swimmers and coaches will now put those performances behind them and focus on what they can do between now and the summer to ensure they can deliver a season’s best when it matters most.”

  • Make it a two-way street: Online bank account or loan closure must be seamless

    Make it a two-way street: Online bank account or loan closure must be seamless

    [ad_1]

    Remember the very famous song of the 70s by Eagles, Hotel California. Digital payments in India pretty much is on the lines of this song – “ you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave” .

    You can buy a loan digitally. Open a savings bank or even get a term deposit digitally. But try closing your loan or your savings account with a click of a button, it’s practically a tug of war between you and the bank and invariably the bank will win just like the lovely face in the song.

    Shaktikanta Das, RBI governor, said last Thursday that digital payments are here to stay. But if digital adoption must truly improve and reach the next level, it has to transcend beyond just the realms of payments. We need an ecosystem where if a loan or a bank account or deposit can be digitally bought, we must be able to close those transactions also seamlessly online.

    Well, the mutual funds and stock broking industries, which at a combined isn’t even a third of the banking sector, have demonstrated their strengths all in a click of a button.

    Funds can be redeemed online, IPOs are subscribed and refunded online if the allotment doesn’t happen. Why then, should it be any different for banking services? Unless a borrower or depositor makes the mandatory visits to the branches or phone calls to the relationship manager the loan or deposit cannot be closed.

    Try pre-closing, let’s say a seven-year car loan within three years, the fight is worse. Of course, there is documentation involved which need to be carefully handed over to the customer and that cannot be done digitally yet, but at least the initiation of the process should be digital. Instead if you ask more, bankers would load you with the famous ALM or asset-liability management concept.

    “What if everyone starts taking money out digitally, it might even lead to a run on the bank”. But this is such an archaic argument. The whole premise of strong banking principles is that any asset or a liability can be met instantaneously.  

    The pandemic bought for this deficiency in the banking system and yet if bankers choose to ignore the need for digital closure processes, it’s perhaps time that RBI starts nudging them in this direction.

    After all without the push, the entire digital ecosystem in the banking space would not have taken wings like it has and if the loop should be truly completed, the push is needed once again.
